Content about Hurricane Katrina

February 8, 2008

As you already know, the next Clean Show will be held in New Orleans in June 2009. Understandably, there has been some concern expressed by a few TCATA members about the condition of New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina. The condition of the city’s infrastructure, crime rate and hotel/restaurant staffing capacity are legitimate concerns, ones that I would have if I were considering exhibiting or visiting the city. Having visited New Orleans recently, I want to offer you my personal impressions.
